Aspects of Colonialism in J. M. Coetzee’s Novels In the Heart of the Country, Waiting for the Barbarians and Age of Iron
Among many writers who have given a great contribution to the African literature and literature in general, John Maxwell Coetzee is distinguished by his importance in the development of the twentieth-century fiction writing about the violent history and political regime of his native country, especially about the apartheid, emphasising thus the role of history in his novels. His novels In the Heart of the Country, Waiting for the Barbarians and Age of Iron incorporate several themes, the most prominent of them being relations between the colonizer and the colonized or ‘the oppressed other’, racial, ethnic and gender themes such as interracial intimacy and historical and political state in South Africa addressed either in direct or in allegorical form. The inimitable problems of late-colonial and post-colonial South Africa are central concerns for the author. Consequently, the aim of this paper is to examine aspects of colonialism presented in these three novels, or precisely these issues, embedded into social, historical, and political context.
